Soldering Preparation

1. Using gauze sponges and CSM-1A Degreaser , thoroughly degrease the surface of a smooth, clean, steel or aluminum plate at least 1/8 in (3 mm) thick.
    
2. Using blunt-nose tweezers which have been cleaned with Neutralizer 5A , remove the gage from its mylar folder and place on the cleaned plate. Tabs on the gage should face up.
    
3. Place a short piece, 1 or 2 in (25 to 50 mm), PDT-1 drafting tape over the grid area of the gage, leaving one-half of the soldering tabs exposed.
    
4. Press tape over gage and onto work surface. If the gage does not have good thermal contact with the surface, a weight can be applied to hold gage in place.
